@Old Bruce I agree, there are many labor-consuming workarounds, but nothing can beat the convenience of IrfanView print dialog. No need to resize the image or create many copies in process. I wish something similar to be available in future AP releases.

@fde101 This is exact explanation of my requirement, thank you. I'd like to print a high-res image in various sizes in the least number of steps.

FYI - I found the solution. It should be %L, not %1:

No problem, thanks.

This is how I defined the Edit command. If I remove %1, Affinity Photo interface opens but without the file loaded.

I was opening it by associating the the "Edit" in context menu with the command "<path>\Photo.exe %1". This may an artefact of this approach. In all other cases the name is displayed correctly.

I agree, there are many workarounds, but having the option of specifying the print scaling in inches would make life much easier. For example. if I design a wine label, I create hi-res image and do not want to go though resizing/resampling it just to print it the correct size. I can do some math and calculate scale percentage. But Irfanview, much simpler program, has this feature, and, honestly, I use it to print after I done with the design in AP.

Thank you. It is what I needed, indeed.

Hi, In your screenshot there is a setting for the paper size. However, in order to scale the print on the page, there is only "Scale" field. I don't see how I specify something like that:, "I'd like Letter size, but the print should be 5"x3" in the middle of that page". Here is a screenshot from Irfanview to show what I mean: AP has only Fit Type and Scale.

Currently AP does not allow to specify the print size in inches in the Print dialog, like Irfanview does.

Currently AP does allow cropping and resampling simultaneously, like Photoshop does. For example, If I need to crop my image to fit to a particular printed size, I need to crop it and then resample. If there would be a crop mode that allows to specify the target size (with persisting the ratio), this could be done in a single step.

When the hardware acceleration is not available the "Yes/No" dialog is displayed instead of "Ok":

... and "Colours" in Pantone disclaimer in the same screen (and "About" screen) are also very British 😀
